Over the last two decades, Marissa Anita has made a big impact on the Indonesian film and TV industry, first as a familiar face on Metro TV as a journalist and presenter, and now as a rising star in the country’s film industry. Collecting numerous awards and nominations for her work in films such as Ali & Ratu Ratu Queens and In the Absence of the Sun, Anita is using her platform to talk about female representation in the Asian film industry. Anita speaks with Post reporter Alkira Reinfrank about what it means to bring a “feminist conscience” when choosing roles and what why more complex female characters are needed on screen.
